One of my readers suggested that I take a vacation. That sounds like a great idea. I'm gonna slow down a bit, look critically at myself and the blog and get ready for the New Year. Oh, and catch up on email. That's the real reason I've been unhappy lately. Seasonally affected email disorder or something. I'll try to keep my link blog up, though.

One piece of remaining business, though. Our last geek dinner. We're moving it to Chaat Cafe on 3rd Street in downtown San Francisco. 6 p.m. Thursday night. Lots of interesting people (and some not-so-interesting people like me) will be there.

"It's all about openness," says chairman Bill Gates of Microsoft's public blogs like Scobleizer. "People see them as a reflection of an open, communicative culture that isn't afraid to be self-critical."

And if you aren't self-critical, your readers will whoop your behind. As I've learned several times over the past week or so.
